The article explores the unique status of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which is considered quasi-sovereign by some countries. It delves into the historical background of the Order and examines the basis for its claimed sovereignty. The changing concept of State sovereignty and challenges to traditional notions of the State are also discussed. The article concludes by reflecting on the lessons learned from the Order of Malta regarding the relationship between territory and statehood.
